The Charilaou Trikoupi<\/b> is keeping its distance and avoiding taking a stance in the fierce conflict<\/b> Anna Diamantopoulou<\/b> with Charis Doukas<\/b> regarding their collaborations <\/b>within PASOK<\/b>.<\/p>\n
During a period of intense internal party turmoil, PASOK<\/b> appears to be failing to take clear political action to de-escalate the conflict<\/b> that erupted between Anna Diamantopoulou and Haris Doukas<\/b>, with the public clash <\/b>over collaborations simultaneously highlighting the absence of active leadership intervention by Nikos Androulakis<\/b>. Harilaou Trikoupi adopts a stance of institutional detachment<\/b>, avoiding politically \u201cdefining\u201d the framework of the disagreement, a fact that reinforces the image of internal confusion<\/b> and leaves room for the escalation of statements from both sides<\/b>. At a time when top officials are exchanging harsh words over the strategy for cooperation<\/b>, the absence of immediate leadership intervention fuels the debate<\/b> regarding a lack of central control and a clear line within the party<\/b>.<\/p>\n
The PASOK<\/b> leadership is keeping its distance from the public confrontation<\/b> between Anna Diamantopoulou and Haris Doukas<\/b> regarding coalitions<\/b>, the leadership of PASOK<\/b> is maintaining a distance, believing that these accusations are harmful to the party<\/b>.<\/p>\nThe \u201cPontius Pilate\u201d Logic<\/h3>\n
In a \u201cPontius Pilate\u201d-style statement, officials at the H. Trikoupis headquarters noted: \u201cInstead of top officials wasting their time on public recriminations, the party\u2019s base\u2014the democratic community and society at large\u2014expects them to communicate PASOK\u2019s proposals. Everyone is judged and must take responsibility.\u201d<\/p>\n
PASOK officials made no secret of their disagreement and annoyance regarding both Anna Diamantopoulou\u2019s statement and Doukas\u2019s response. Regarding Ms. Diamantopoulou\u2019s view, they noted that \u201cshe should not have characterized Mr. Doukas\u2019s approach as \u2018ridiculous,\u2019 knowing that it would provoke his reaction, while her statement that \u2018the country will not be left without a government.\u2019 For his part, the mayor responded in strong terms. \u201cThis is not the image we expect from top officials,\u201d they emphasized in an interview with protothema.<\/p>\n
It all began when Anna Diamantopoulou launched a tirade against Haris Doukas over the issue of collaborations, prompting the mayor of Athens to respond in kind.<\/p>\n
Ms. Diamantopoulou sharply stated on Open TV that the discussion the mayor of Athens tried to initiate regarding a pre-election collaboration with Tsipras\u2019s party is \u201ca recipe for throwing open doors and windows so voters can walk out.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThis issue, which we\u2019re discussing right now, is a recipe for a party to throw open doors and windows and lose voters. Is that right? I mean, I can\u2019t imagine a more ridiculous approach,\u201d Ms. Diamantopoulou pointed out.<\/p>\n
The former Commissioner also said that PASOK does not want to hand over centrist voters to New Democracy, while making it clear that the issue of coalition partnerships for governing will depend on the mandate voters give at the polls.<\/p>\n
Haris Doukas responded to Ms. Diamantopoulou shortly thereafter. In a social media post, the mayor of Athens accused her of expressing views that do not represent PASOK. \u201cThe views expressed today by Ms. Diamantopoulou\u2014in which she praises the New Democracy government for its fiscal successes and the country\u2019s image abroad\u2014do not reflect the views of PASOK. Given these remarks, I am not surprised that she finds the calls for dialogue within the progressive camp ridiculous.\u201d<\/p>\n
The positions expressed today by Ms. Diamantopoulou, in which she praises the New Democracy government for its fiscal successes and the country\u2019s image abroad, do not reflect the views of PASOK.<\/p>\n
SYRIZA has also joined the fray, calling on PASOK President Nikos Androulakis and party spokesperson Kostas Tsoukalas to take a stance onwhat Anna Diamantopoulou said regarding the steady progress of our fiscal indicators and the country\u2019s positive reception abroad. <\/p>\n
Specifically, in its statement, the SYRIZA Press Office noted:<\/p>\n
\u201cDoes Mr. Androulakis agree with Ms. Diamantopoulou\u2019s statement that \u2018yes, our public finances are in good shape, and the country is very well received abroad\u2014I have to admit that.\u2019 What does Mr. Tsoukalas have to say?\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
